The botnet problem has become highly visible, with mainstream media regularly reporting on successful exploits. Governments and regulators are also increasingly aware of the botnet problem and are looking to service providers to help solve the problem. Although various solutions are available to detect the presence of bots, including client-based solutions, most bots easily evade these defenses.  Furthermore, client-based protection is not available for many devices, especially mobile. The problem requires network-based solutions that are pervasive and scalable, and can readily adapt to deter increasingly agile botnet threats.
